Cornelius Alba says that Touko became a sorceress by jealous towards her own sister. Touko Aozaki is the older sister of Aoko Aozaki, the magician who gives Shiki Tohno (Played by Ken'ichi Suzumura who plays Mikiya Kokutou in the Kara no Kyoukai film saga) his glasses at the beginning of Lunar Legend Tsukihime (2003). In the game version, Aoko indicates that she stole the glasses from her older sister. In later chapters of the Kara no Kyoukai novel, Touko indicated that Shiki Ryogi had become skilled enough with her Mystic Eyes that she didn't need her glasses anymore, hinting that the glasses that Aoko gave Shiki Tohno possibly belonged to Shiki Ryogi.
